Flann recoiled in horror at Senna's condition, stumbling backward and covering her mouth. Even Hadris winced a bit, and though Laejizhar's expression was impossible to read by nature it certainly wasn't a pleasing sight to him either. Noting that she hadn't noticed the others yet, Laejizhar turned to Hadris. "Hadris, should we-"Before Laejizhar could finish his thought, Septicemia interrupted. Quite loudly. "HEY!!! YOU NEED SOME HELP DOWN THERE BUDDY PAL?!?!" she yelled, hands cupped over her mouth.

Hoooooooooooooooo boy that was definitely an unpleasant sight. Luca immediately turned away from the sight, quietly uttering the following words to himself: "Nope." The expression on his face was kinda hard to describe but there were some horror feels in there. Probably feeling a little fucked up from the body horror, which is understandable.
Meanwhile, Missingno... he'd never seen something like this before. His current feelings were a mix of disgust, fear, and possibly some nausea too. It took a while for him to say something, and again no one would've been able to understand him. This time was intentional though, to be honest.
(((((((((he basically said "What the fuck am I looking at." but it's not like the donuts would know that))))))))

Senna continued to prove oblivious to the presence of Hadris and the others, not even registering the fact that Septicemia called out to her until a handful of seconds later, coming to a stop next to a sparking heap of rubble and debris before looking up at the assembled individuals.
"A hand would be quite useful, but some legs would be even moreso-"
Senna abruptly cut off mid-sentence, the gaze of her lone eyeball falling upon something in the scrap heap adjacent to her. After a brief period of hesitation, she delved into the pile and dragged out what looked to be the lower half of what appeared to be one of the Capital Defense defense robots.
"Actually, scratch that; I should have that conundrum resolved momentarily. Of course I'd find a suitable substitute AFTER my grueling crawl through a collapsed labyrinth of splinters and pain."
After clearing some of the accumulated grime and dust off of the suit's remnants, the procurator went to work, taking a moment to inspect some of the more complicated sections of machinery making up the legs before reaching for the beaten-up tool kit still hanging on by a thread to her belt. With a few deft application of multitool magic, she disengaged the legs from the rest of the chassis entirely and laid them out on the ground, lined them up with the remnants of what used to be each of her legs.
"I really do despise this part..."
With a resigned sigh, Senna closed her eye and gritted her teeth. Tendrils of purplish flesh and sinew, not unlike those making up part of her non-functional arm, quickly began to emerge from the still-open wounds, first wrapping around the upper portions of the robotic legs before proceeding to snake into the electrical systems. The illuminated joints of the suit flashed to life, briefly displaying their standard blueish-white hue before shifting to - what else - a flickering shade of deep purple. Finally, with a rather unpleasant-sounding chorus of crunching and creaking, the mass of fleshy tendrils receded somewhat, drawing the legs a brief way into Senna's body and locking them into place.
"Ouch."
And just like that, she stood back up. That's sure to cause some nightmares.

This was most definitely a nightmarish thing to watch, especially for Missingno. Rest in fucking pieces. Looks like he's having a problem processing all of this. To anyone looking in his direction, they'd notice that he appeared to be quite literally glitching up.
Meanwhile, Luca slowly turned around to see if things got a little less hellish, and he couldn't have been more wrong. Oh god it was even worse than the first time he looked. He quickly turned to Flann, part of his long, rapunzel-ish hair quickly moving to cover her eyes. "It got worse" was all he could say about it to her. He'd turned away from the hell mess again, and appeared to be sweating bullets out of fear.

Hadris and Laejizhar looked on in concern and Septicemia in vague disgust, Flann remaining still but quietly grateful for Luca's intervention. "Wow! That was hella sicknasty, my dude!" Septicemia shouted down to Senna, evidently not too traumatized by her unique method of... uh, healing. Speaking of healing, Herelia was occupied elsewhere, beginning the process of teleporting the injured back to the hospital area in Hadris' realm. She did, however, take note of the crowd in the distance. "Hadris! If you have anyone else, you'll need to hurry up over there!" she called out.

The first few steps Senna took with her temporary set of legs didn't work out too well, sparking and lurching forward towards the wall before she managed to catch herself. After taking a few more shaky test paces to smooth out the kinks, the procurator presumably approved of her temporary patch-up job and stared back up towards the party assembled on the ledge, a burning purple glow now plainly visible in the empty socket where her left eye once was.
"You know, that's at least the third time I've had to do that, but it never gets any easier. It's just me left down here, but I've burned through every auxiliary power source on my person, so a lift back to base would be graciously appreciated. I can't begin to fathom how much paperwork I'll be slogging through in regards to this incident, so getting fixed up and working post-haste is imperative."
Priorities! Speaking of, Herelia would continue to have a great amount of difficulty working around the toxins inhibiting Stearns's recovery. By this point, she would likely be able to tell that the wounds not only carried a nasty mix of curses and hexes, but also some exotic poisons the likes of which she would likely never have encountered before. Whoever was using this wanted to make damn sure that their opponent was absolutely one hundred-percent dead. The fact that an apparently nonmagical being was holding out for so long was nothing short of a miracle.

Hadris paused for a bit before responding, thinking over what the best course of action would be. He glanced over at Laejizhar and nodded, prompting Laejizhar to extend several tentacles down toward Senna to help her up. "There's been a bit of a change in plans. We need to detour to my realm for a bit for recovery. We can help you get fixed up there," he informed her calmly, rubbing his chin. "Flann, Septicemia, and the rest of you," he continued, looking over at Missingno and Luca, "Head over to Herelia to be transported back. Septicemia, I'm counting on you to take care of Flann and make sure these other two are taken care of until I return.""Aye-aye, cap'n!" Septicemia said with a salute, nodding toward Flann and grabbing the two strangers by the arm. "Let's blow this popsicle stand!" she exclaimed, dragging them toward Herelia's teleportation circle as Flann followed.

"Sounds like a reasonable course of action to me. To be frank, being back at base near Erol after he gets an earful for actually getting eliminated by a mundane, mortal being is the last thing I need interrupting my work. He throws an absolute fit as-is when something of a similar threat bests him, so one can only imagine how he will behave now."
Senna graciously accepted the tentacle transport back up to the surface level, taking special care not to prod Laejizhar with the twisted mass of nope that was her mutilated arm.
"A word of caution: my form is still of somewhat-unstable composure, so try not to douse me with too much magical energy. Any time not devoted to research has been allotted to improving the stability of my formulae, but perfection is not something to be rubber-stamped and hurried to completion."

Hadris was relieved to not have to deal with any resistance. Not much time for that. "Duly noted. We'll be sure to take care of you. Wouldn't want to, ah... make things worse, as it were. Let's move quickly, then!"With another nod to Laejizhar, the two gestured toward the teleportation circle where Herelia awaited. "There you are. Just step inside the circle and we'll be on our way," she instructed, understandably sounding a bit impatient. Hadris and Laejizhar followed suit. This is a detailed post.
